Abstract: In a computer system according to the background art, when a request to halt a virtual processor was detected, the virtual processor was blocked.

Abstract: A hypervisor calculates the total number of processor cycles (the number of processor cycles of one or more physical processors) in a first length of time based on the sum of the operating frequencies of the respective physical processors and the first length of time for each first length of time (for example, a scheduling initialization cycle T1, which will be explained further below). The hypervisor calculates for each virtual computer the number of possessing cycles, which is a value obtained by the total number of processor cycles being distributed in proportion to the service ratios of multiple virtual computers. In virtual processor scheduling, the hypervisor runs a virtual processor inside a virtual computer on any physical processor based on the number of hold cycles of each virtual computer.

Abstract: Attempts are made to reduce the system overhead generated at the time of context save/restore processing to perform process switching in a virtual machine system. In a CPU occupancy mode that a physical CPU is exclusively allocated to virtual machines, a logical CPU process running on the physical CPU is static, so that it is not necessary to save/restore the context every time the processes are switched. When a switching source process is a logical CPU process in a CPU occupancy mode, a context save is temporarily suspended. When switching to the same logical CPU process is made again continuously, save/restore is skipped. When the logical CPU process of a VMM control VM runs in that period, the logical CPU process whose save is delayed is recorded and saved late.
